The women on our soccer and softball teams were huge handicaps. They struck out in softball (they were given 5 strikes just for being girls) often. They couldn’t field, pass, or do anything effective. I joined co-ed sports to hang with friends and co-workers but to also compete in something and try to win.

The New York Daily News wasn’t profitable. How is that not a market correction? It was literally sold to Tronc for $1 because the liabilities were more than the paper’s value. 

Am I wrong to think that there’s a heavy dose of irony that this particular brand of lament is posted here on Deadspin, where many (most) times facts take a backseat to hot-takey opinions? This place is just as culpable in the death of traditional media as anywhere else. In fact - name me one outlet private or…

I think the loss of journalism jobs was inevitable.

A perfect game means no one even makes it to first base, and my entire high school career threw one against me.

NBA regular season rose 8% this year. Premier League rose. MLB dropped from 2016-2017, but under 5%. And the NHL had the worst, a 12% drop. If some…

Good to see LeBron get another shot after his last GM stint ended poorly.

You know, some people also didn’t like The Last Jedi because it’s a structurally questionable movie with some bad writing and underdeveloped (or underused) characters.

... I'm gonna guess this is more of a common stunt coordinator thing

Breaking: Cleveland’s spirit

this was the Studio 54 principle at play

I think I just got some dust in my eyes.

“The history stuff was pretty fun. It was cool to see what football was like in 1969. Ha. I said 69,” said one player who requested ‘anonymtitties’
